A simplified direct method is described for obtaining massless scalar functional determinants on the Euclidean ball. The case of odd dimensions is explicitly discussed.
We consider the resolvent $(\lambda-a)^{-1}$ of any $R$-diagonal operator $a$ in a $\mathrm{II}_1$-factor. Our main theorem gives a universal asymptotic formula for the norm of such a resolvent. En route to its proof, we calculate the…
In this note we investigate the nonelliptic differential expression A=-div sgn grad on a rectangular domain in the plane. The seemingly simple problem to associate a selfadjoint operator with the differential expression A in an L^2 setting…
The main object of this work is to show how some rather elementary techniques based upon certain inverse pairs of symbolic operators would lead us easily to several decomposition formulas associated with confluent hypergeometric functions…
A general method of finding functional determinants is presented that depends on the asymptotic behaviour of the resolvent. Its application to the case of a bounded trihedral corner for which the eigenvalues are known only implicitly is…
We further study the orthogonal polynomials with respect to the generalized Airy weight based on the work of Clarkson and Jordaan [{\em J. Phys. A: Math. Theor.} {\bf 54} ({2021}) {185202}]. We prove the ladder operator equations and…
We develop a time-non-local (TNL) formalism based on variational calculus, which allows for the analysis of TNL Lagrangians. We derive the generalized Euler-Lagrange equations starting from the Hamilton's principle and, by defining a…
We obtain approximation formulas for fractional integrals and derivatives of Riemann-Liouville and Marchaud types with a variable fractional order. The approximations involve integer-order derivatives only. An estimation for the error is…

The relativistic phase-space representation by means of the usual position and momentum operators for a class of observables with Weyl symbols independent of charge variable (i.e. with any combination of position and momentum) is proposed.…
We study discretizations of fractional fully nonlinear equations by powers of discrete Laplacians. Our problems are parabolic and of order $\sigma\in(0,2)$ since they involve fractional Laplace operators $(-\Delta)^{\sigma/2}$. They arise…
The fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ is the prototypical non-local elliptic operator. While analytical theory has been advanced and understood for some time, there remain many open problems in the numerical analysis of the…
